Pros and cons
Adrenaline USA
Pros
- Gift certificates are flexible, so the balance can be exchanged towards another Adrenaline product or adventure.
- The catalogue runs to 1,452 to 1,700 experiences, from driving days to attraction tickets.
- Adrenaline USA sells experience days, driving, adventure and more, so the same voucher can cover several kinds of day out.
Cons
- Refunds on gift certificates sit inside a 14 day change of mind window from the purchase date.
- The starting price of $14.75 is quoted for scenic cruises, so it is a poor guide to a driving or adventure day.
- The experiences are sold in the United States, so a gift for someone living in another country is a poor bet.
Into the Blue
Pros
- Validity of 12 months is the longer of the two voucher validity rankings, placing 12 of 31.
- Exchangeable vouchers give a wrong guess a second route rather than a write off.
- Choice spans experience days, spa, driving, adventure, food and drink, attractions and gift cards.
Cons
- Vouchers are valid for 12 months, below the 19.5 reached by the longer end of the wider market.
- Entry price of £16.50 is higher than €5.90 and €5.90, both of which open lower.
- The catalogue runs in GB only, so there is no other market for a gift that needs redeeming abroad.
Who each suits

Who should look elsewhere

Questions about each
Adrenaline USA
How much does an Adrenaline USA experience cost?+
Scenic cruises are quoted from $14.75. That figure belongs to scenic cruises, which makes it a useful entry point for a gift but a poor guide to a driving day or an adventure activity. Each experience carries its own price, and a gift certificate lets the recipient decide which one to book.
How long does an Adrenaline USA gift certificate last?+
A voucher stays valid for 60 months from the purchase date, which suits a present bought well ahead of the occasion. If the recipient never gets around to it, the balance can be exchanged towards another Adrenaline product or adventure rather than simply lapsing.
Into the Blue
How long does an Into the Blue voucher last?+
Vouchers are valid for 12 months, which places Into the Blue at 12 of 31 brands on that measure. The wider market runs to 39 months, so this is a solid rather than a record setting window. It suits a gift that is planned months ahead.
What does the cheapest Into the Blue voucher cost?+
Prices start at £16.50, which puts Into the Blue at 29 of 53 brands on entry price. Jochen Schweizer and mydays both open at €5.90 and €5.90, so a tight budget usually finds a cheaper entry elsewhere.
